APPLY MAINT ACCEPT NOPURGE APPLY DEV ACCEPT NOPURGE APPLY PROD ACCEPT PURGE Are there no adverse consequences of having the DLIB zone at a higher service level than the PROD target, a transient state between steps? Given the large capacity and low price of modern DASD (and that SMP/E now supports multiple SMPPTS (am I correct?), circumventing the archaic limits on PDE(E) size), how valuable is PURGE? I could envision a problem's appearing only after ACCEPT; RESTORE is not possible (bad design, IMO). If the GLOBAL were entire, one could define a new target/DLIB pair and iteratively bisect the service stream to find the troublesome PTF. Or, install ab ovo and APPLY selectively -- I can do that hourly during development testing (but it's a small product). VMSES/E makes this easier by having no analogue of a DLIB zone. A programmer can peel off onion layers iteratively to get to any desired earlier level. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
